Chapter 121: Chapter 121

"Did you see that? We won, Imperia University won!!!"

Principal Reed was beaming, nearly leaping off the stage.

"Our Serena is really amazing, truly putting Imperia University in the spotlight."

If it weren’t for Serena single-handedly pulling up the score, surpassing Clearwater University School of Medicine by 10 points, Imperia University wouldn’t have won at all.

"Reed, don’t be overly smug, it’s just the first round victory, there’s still the second round." Principal Langley was clearly shocked, but still stubbornly said, "The second round is the practical one, and Clearwater’s Aidan is quite adept at practicals. Clearwater will definitely win the second round!"

Serena lazily stretched, showing no excitement despite winning the match; her expression remained laid-back as she walked off the stage with her long, straight legs.

Yara and the other three contestants finally snapped out of their shock.

"Oh my god, did we just win ?"

"Yeah, yeah, the surprise was so sudden I couldn’t react!"

The fact that Imperia University School of Medicine won, led by the very Serena Everett whom they had previously looked down on, saying she was holding them back!

Their faces hurt from being slapped, but they were still very happy for the victory! After all, Clearwater had won every year prior, and this year Imperia finally took a win, really putting them in the spotlight!

Their gazes towards Serena instantly changed, thinking about the things they had said before, each of them wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Yara’s face darkened, feeling extremely uncomfortable inside.

How could that brat Serena be so impressive? She took away all her limelight!

"I’m Aidan Keaton." Aidan chased after, blocking Serena’s path, his eyes full of admiration, "Can we get to know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Serena lifted those extremely beautiful fox-like eyes to look at him, speaking indifferently, "Serena Everett."

For some reason, facing her gaze, Aidan’s ears inexplicably reddened, struggling to regain his usual demeanor.

"You’re incredible, looking forward to your performance in the next round."

She was the only one he could call a rival!

"Hmm." Serena casually nodded, turning to head to the backstage without hesitation.

Aidan’s gaze followed her until she walked far away, only then did he pull back his gaze, a subtle smile appearing on his lips.

Today’s event was not wasted...

"Wow, Serena won Aidan’s recognition, that’s proof of how amazing she is!"

"Yeah, yeah, Serena really changed my view, but she’s so composed. Facing a handsome guy like Aidan and still so unfazed; if it were me, I’d throw myself at him!"

"I admit, I was too loud with Serena before; she’ll be my idol from now on!"

"Serena yyds!!!" (Serena is the best)

"Serena yyds!!!" (Serena is the best)

"Serena yyds!!!" (Serena is the best)

The cheers from below were endless, but Cassia Everett, sitting nearby, looked extremely upset, her long nails almost breaking.

Yara was such a useless fool, letting that brat Serena steal such a big limelight!

Serena had just returned backstage when the other three contestants hung their heads, approaching her.

"Serena, we’re sorry, we apologize for what we said before."

"Yeah, yeah, we didn’t know you were this amazing, really sorry for before!"

They harbor no ill intentions, just didn’t know Serena was powerful, assuming she got a spot in the competition through connections, hence their displeasure with her. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIＦire.net

Serena spoke quite nonchalantly, "It’s fine."

She never put such a trivial matter in her eyes.

The three felt even more guilty hearing this, looking at her in admiration.

Serena, so remarkable yet so magnanimous, they were truly blind before, even thinking she got into the School of Medicine through the back door!

She’s so skilled, she doesn’t need any back doors; even the principal insists she joins Imperia!

The leading teacher couldn’t believe Serena could win, let alone win so splendidly; he felt his dignity challenged, adopting an authoritative stance, began to speak.

"Serena, don’t think winning the first round is something to be proud of, there’s still the second round, you..."

"Whether I feel proud is none of your business?"

Before he could finish, Serena coldly interrupted him, her long, straight legs casually crossed, exuding a big boss posture.

"You need to fulfill the bet you made earlier."

Upon mentioning this, the leading teacher’s face instantly froze, looking rather ugly, "Serena, don’t be too excessive, don’t forget I am your teacher!"

"Saying so much nonsense, aren’t you just trying to back out?" Serena tugged at her lips, giving her the middle finger, "A sore loser."

"You..." The leading teacher was so furious, his chest heaving significantly, "Serena, do you understand what respecting teachers and principles mean? I am your teacher, don’t think that winning one round is anything special, it’s just luck!"

"Are you going to kneel?" Serena, tired of her nagging, spoke in a cold yet impatient voice, oddly intimidating.

"I won’t kneel, what can you do about it?!"

The leading teacher gave Serena a fierce glare, full of malice.

She is a teacher, she won’t kneel; Serena has no hold over her!

Besides, if she were to kneel to Serena, the countryside brat, it would ruin her reputation at Imperia!

"Then I’ll make you kneel forcefully."

As soon as Serena’s indifferent words fell, several gleaming silver needles flew from her alabaster fingertips, too fast for anyone to see.

Even the leading teacher didn’t see it clearly; only felt a sting in her knee, "thud", she knelt down.

"Ah... my knee hurts..."

The leading teacher screamed in pain, feeling extremely embarrassed, attempting to stand but failing repeatedly, glaring harshly at Serena, "Serena, what did you do to me?! Let me stand!"

"You still owe three calls of ’Grandpa’." Serena tilted her head, her tone calm yet oddly haunting, "Will you call it yourself, or do you want me to make you?"

The leading teacher was truly terrified now, swallowed hard, "Serena, there’s no need to go this far, no matter what, I’m your teacher; if you offend me, in the future..."

Listening to this threat, Serena’s impatience grew, "So much nonsense, I’ll do it myself then."

The leading teacher shook her head frantically, scared by Serena, who had somehow made her kneel and unable to stand. If she acted once more...

The leading teacher, terrified, spoke with extreme humiliation.
